    We don't normally use chains. If the farms clear their driveways we shouldn't need them. We have power devider, front and rear locking axles. I carry coal ash which works wonders on slick surfaces as long as they plow..... It does well on ice.

    First question they ask me. Said farmer is not required to plow but company is responsible to haul it out. The other driver decided to stay so it never materialized.

    Kinda feel like a real driver.

    I posted the above you guys can knock me down a peg or two.

    My day began with 400 mile dash to deliver. Delivering today (a day early) allowed this load to get on to this weeks check. Nice.

    Last night as I exited the truck a had the beautiful strong smell of rotten eggs. I smelled it only slightly the morning before. Truck needs new batteries.

    Call Dave and tell him. He tells me replace them all and tells me where to get them.

    I get there and negotiate the guy into a free freightliner hat (a frickin’ $50 value probably LOL). They wanted 1.5 hours to install them at $150 per/hour. #### that. I did it in the parking lot of a pilot in 1 hour 20 minutes.

    Ok. No one cares about the good stuff...so here’s some pain. LOL
    It started raining on me as I did it. But it only rained enough to make me soaking wet and really bring the urine smell out that I couldn’t get away from. The rain was just warm enough to wake up the mosquitos which chewed on me and then all went into to my truck to hide and #### with me tonight as I sleep.

    People have reacted very negatively in private about the saying bless the heart.

    In the south it has many uses.

    This link will settle this meaning in several ways for those who have the kind of time and energy to get wound up over this whole subject. Bless their hearts. //Snarky. HE HE HE.

    Urban Dictionary: Bless your heart
